ABOUT

The research project is testing a new smartphone app (S-Check App) that provides self-assessments, risk identification, education, tips and resources for people using methamphetamine.

The S-Check App:

  • Provides up-to-date information about methamphetamine

  • Allows you to monitor your use

  • Assists you to identify any health problems

  • Provides links to support services if necessary

AIM

The main aim of this research project is to assess whether the S-Check App can motivate change in people who use methamphetamine regularly.

why

Methamphetamine (MA) is the second most commonly used illegal substance in the world and its use is associated with a number of serious social, health, and psychological risks. A number of barriers to accessing treatments for MA use exist, including long treatment wait times and concerns about stigma and privacy. The S-Check app offers anonymous and self-directed support for MA, including evidence-based intervention techniques to help people identify concerns with their MA use and seek help. 

Recruitment has now closed for the S-Check App study, and findings are being analysed. Once published, results from the S-Check App study will be made available on the website via the link below. Please check back soon.
